The 1212C [YBa₂Cu₃O_7-x] High-T_c Structure

You can now

• see the structure from several perspectives;
• examine the structure with an external viewer; or
• download the coordinates of the atoms in these pictures in XYZ format.
• visualize the structure (Uses the JMOL Applet)

• The 90K "123" superconductor found by Chou et al. The structure shown has eight oxygen atoms. Apparently the oxygen vacancies are randomly distributed among the oxygen sites.
